No cause for celebration!

On June 20 World Refugee Day is observed, but there are no causes for celebration. The illegitimate deal between the EU and Turkey is still in force, Frontex still pushes the endangered people into the sea, and Slovenia is still fenced. The relocation of people to another EU member state also does not work. The violent closure of the Balkan route has produced a humanitarian catastrophe in Greece, Turkey, and Syria. Meanwhile, people in the countries, where refugees come from, are still threatened by wars, unrest, and poverty. Dissenters are oppressed and endangered by the repressive state apparatus and extreme organizations.

We demand international protection and active and efficient inclusion policy for everybody. Only then will we be able to celebrate World Refugee Day.
